Thai iced tea - Large
Nick C.

Wanted to try a new thai place local to me. Cha Chaa popped up. Solid reviews. Here's mine. I got it to-go. 20min before they closed. Friendly people. Nice chatting. Place is smaller than I thought. But still able to have a dinner there. Large Thai Tea - Not too sweet. Good tasting. I wish there was less milk / half n half and more of the tea mix. Really good though. Wonton Soup - Lots of wontons. Although not to take away from Cha Chaa I dont think theyre made in house. Broth is light and flavorful. Wontons are packed in the soup. Broccoli and cabbage are on the bottom. Good. Combination Fried Rice - Some really really good fried rice. Not the best but really good. Packed with the combo meats including shrimp, chicken, beef n pork. The box is filled up so there's a good amount. Pad see ew Beef - This was good. Not the best but not bad. It wasnt overly sweet. Which I liked. Good amount. Now the price. For 2 Large Thai Teas, Wonton Soup, Combo Fried Rice, and Pad see ew was $65 and change. I tipped $6 for a to go order. So im taking back by $72.11 Was it worth it? I'm having a difficult time processing it. I know prices are going up. Like a lot. But this was a bit on the expensive side.

Spicy Noodles (chicken)

This is a great place for Chinese/Thai fusion. It's a little hard to find as it's tucked away in a small plaza, on the corner of Glenoaks Bl. and Osborne St. But it's worth searching for. It's a small cozy place with just a few tables, but the customers for take out/phone in orders was non stop from the time I walked in until the time I walked out. I was fortunate to snag and eat at a table, I ended up ordering the spicy noodles and a side of pork jerky and everything was delicious. The noodles were still steaming from the wok, and the spice level was just the right amount to tickle my tongue. The pork jerky was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The dipping sauce made the dish pop with a good amount of heat as well. It looks like a small family owned restaurant, with only one person working the front counter and she was hustling! She did everything from, answer phone orders, rang up customers, served food to other customers inside her shop. And when there was a lull, she was prepping in the back, helping the cooks plate the next orders, refill the soy sauce and condiments, etc. This place has hard working people who are good at making delicious food. Please stop by and show your love and support for this local business.

Cool lil spot with super good food and nice owners. It is a very homey environment with small seating but just roomy enough. Will be back for that Thai tea

We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. Overall, both restaurants in Chinatown and Pasadena provide great food quality. The ambience was cozy with dim lighting. Our round table had a wooden rotating tray. They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave. The kung pao chicken was very tasty with a good amount of spice. I noticed that the slippery shrimp didn't taste as spicy as the portion from Pasadena. Reviews say that the spice is adjustable. Regardless. it tasted great as it came right off the pan. The pork fried rice was delicious with a savory flavor that didn't seem overpowering. I thought the juicy steamed dumplings were the weakest dish out of our whole order. There wasn't enough flavor and heat from the broth. I didn't try much of the eggplants, but they tasted adequate for me.

Anything you can eat you any night you don't have to cook is usually a great night out. This evening was no exception. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. Positive energy, drinks filled and smile that felt genuine. The ambiance of the restaurant was bar like, but with adequate seating for dining in. Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

Our go-to dishes are the cucumber salad (refreshing and perfectly crunchy), green scallion pancakes (especially good with the chili sauce), pork shumai (better than Din Tai Fung imo), and the spicy pork wontons. On our most recent visit, we tried the sesame noodles, and I've been daydreaming about them ever since. The staff is always friendly and attentive, the vibes inside are great, and there's a solid drink selection with cocktails, draft beer, and bottled options. And the price point? Outrageously reasonable, especially in this economy. Consistently delicious food, great service, and incredible value. Highly recommend!

It also appeared to me that the food tasted slightly better at the Alhambra location, but that may very well have been my bias. The restaurant workers looked more organized vs this location that has more of a traditional Chinese vibe, slightly tired building, not particularly clean, service feels a bit rushed and sloppy. We went there for Thanksgiving Dinner and it wasn't packed but we went at the opening time and the people kept coming. 90% looked Chinese which also speaks for the authenticity.

The highlights of the night were the celery root blini with crème fraîche and Ossetra caviar, the trout tartare, the duck sausage, and the grilled short ribs. And a special shoutout to the fried boneless chicken leg -- it was goddamn delicious! The wine list is exciting. It has some hard-to-find aged bottles. We scored a bottle of 2007 François Cotat Sancerre. Cotat is one of the most iconic Sancerre producers, and because his wines are built to age, finding a 2007 vintage on the menu here was a massive treat. While we didn't dive into the proper cocktail menu, my partner ordered the non-alcoholic Hojicha Orange Milk Punch, which was phenomenal, and judging by how beautiful the drinks at neighboring tables looked, I'd assume their cocktail program is strong. Service was stellar. Lisa, who helped us navigate the wine list, was lovely! She was incredibly generous, offering us a few complimentary pours of other wines to taste. Will definitely revisit to try other menu items and their cocktails!
